BURNER FOR Application filed November This invcntim'i relates lo iiuprowuncnts in burners particuhirly adapted for a gas heater.

An object of this invei'ition is to provide a radiant gan burner which will burn natural or zn'tilicial gas, the construction 01'' which is extremely simple, but efficient.

A further object of this invention is to provide a burner adapted tor a gas heater in which the gas may be taken into the bot tom of the burner adjacent a gas and air mixer which is located at. the entrance of the burner, air being taken in by the mixer and allowed to How into the l o ly oi the bottom of? the burner. g

A further object of this invention is to provide a gas bin-neiwhich so equi ipcd. that it may be used as a Bunsen burner or with an adjustable valve and mixed for burning artificial. coal, water or any other kind of gas, and will make a perfect combustion without "fumes. 7

Other objects of this invention will. appear from the following detail =d description 0:[? the device and as disclosed in the two sets of drawings which are herewith made a part of this application.

Numeral 1 designates a main body portion of the burner, which may be made out of cast iron, stamped steel 0' any other suitable material, and formed having a plural.- .ity of chambers tluzrcin in open con'nnunication with each other. Gas is suppliml to the burner from some source through a tubular connection 2 which is properly threaded ior ctmncction with the air and mixer 4. The chamber 5 in the main body portion 1 of the liuirner is brought into open coinniunication with the gas and air mixer 4 by means of a suitably tliormed pipe coupling (3 pivotally threaded at both ends for connection with a portion 7 the burner and. a portion 8 out the 'znixeri It is apparent, therefore,

that the gas in this invention will function to enter the chamber 5, or the lower reservoir, through an opening 9. Upon entering the chamber 5, the-gas will function to impinge against a downwardly projecting portion 10 of the partitioi'i 11, which torn is one wall of the chambe' 5, and the downwardl v projecting portion 10, being positioned directly overtho intake 9, will function to equally divide the low of the gas and cause it to move intwo directions, passing from the eha1'nber5 into an upper chamber or reservoir 12, from which the gas will pass through the openings 13 in the burner tips 14h The openings 18 are so arranged that each tip will function to break the gas up for the purpose of igniting.

In the construction of the burner, according to this invention, it is preferred that chambers 5 and 12 be equally spaced in relationship to the intake 9, the portion 7 of the burner is provided with a sl'io'ulder portion 1 01 the purpose of receiving the threaded end of the pipe coupling 6. Eachend of the main body portion ot the burner is provided with outwardly and. downwardly extending bracket portions 15 and 16 for receivingany fastening elements which may be found desirable.

In order to provide proper means for supporting the burner in this invention, it is preferred that a bracket or back wall support, as clearly disclosed in the figures oi. drawings, he used wherein numeral 17 designates a bracket support made of any suitable material, such as cast iron or steel, and having arranged therein a plurality of openings l8 and 19 through which the gas flames from the openings 13 in the burner may extend. The main body portion 1. of the burner is securely il'astenei'l in alignmen l; with the openings 18 and 19 o'l the bracket 1.7 by means 0t suitable taslening elements 20 and 21. The bracket 17 projects a suitable distance From one longitudinal edge oi. the burner, as clearly disclosed in l igures 2, t and 5, the overlapping or ru'ojcctingz edge ot the bracket 22 is provided with downwardly cxtelnling lug portion 23, having openings 24ltherein through which suitable fastening elements may extend. for connection with a wall or otherwise. The over? lapping section 0f the bracket 22 is proton ably prl'widcd with a plurality of openings for economy in construction and as a co inter of heat;

In addition to the fastening elements and 21 for connecting the bracket 1'? and main body portion 1 of the burner together, openings 26 are provided in the bracket portion through which fastening elements may extend into the main body portion 1 of the burner.

In operation, this invention lies in a radi ant'gas burner which is adapted to use either natural or artificial gas. The will enter the burner through the opening after being mixed with air, and the [tow of the gas will be equally divided in the chambers 5 and 12 in such a manner that the mixed air and will follow the upper reservoir 12, equal ly distributing the gas alo g the tips and through the openings tor i gnition.

p 'l. he tips it are the outlets for the gas and it is there broken up and should burn with a blue flame which proves perfect combustion, the top reservoir 12 is maintained full of gas and the longer the gas burns the hotter the chamher 12 becomes until it functions practically as a superheater and the gas becomes hotter before it burns; The tips are ordinarily made of lava and are s-Jongy so that they will function to breal: up the gas, making it burn perfectly and without needless fumes. The gas, through the structural features disclosed in this invention, functions to come to the top of the burner and every outlet for the gas is preferred to be of like construction and size. It is to be understood that alterations and substitutions may be made in the above disclosure within the scope of the appended claims without ai'l'ecting the merits of this invention.

lVhat I claim is V v 1. In a gas burner, av main body portion comprising a chamber, a partition therein for dividing the chamber into compartments, the partition being formed having inwardly and downwardly extending end portions, an inlet opening equally spaced from the ends of the main body portion for allowing the gas to enter the chamber, the lower surface of the partition being provided with an "inwardl extendin knife shaved shoulder portion located directly ver the inlet opening for the purpose of dividing the flow of gas through the inlet equally on each side thereof as it impinges against the knife shaped shoulder.

2. In a gas burner having a hollow mainbody portion, a partition therein for tormmg upper and lower chamber portions in open communication with each other, an

inlet opening clearly spaced from the ends of the main body portion for allowing gas to enter the chambers and flow theretrom through suitably t'ormed tips in the main body portion, the partition being formed having'inwardly and downwardly extending end portions and a downwardly extending shoulder portion directly 1' the inlet opening for the purpose or div i 1g the iiow of gas through the inlet equal: on each side thereof as it impinges against the shoulder portion.

3. In a burner having a hollow main body portion, a partition therein for forming upper and lower chamber portions in open communication with each other, an inlet opening clearly spaced from the ends of the main body portion for allov-xingr gas to enter the chambers and. flow therelroni through suitably termed tips in the main body portion, the partition being formed having inwardly and downwardly extending end portions and a downwardly extending shoulder portion directly over the inlet opening for the purpose of dividing the flow of gas through the inlet equally on each side thereof as it impinges against the shoulder port-ion, tips for the burner constructed in such a manner that each tip will break the gas up as it flows tl'iercthrough to the point where the gas is ignited.

t. In a gas burner having a hollow main body portion, a partition therein for torming upper and lower chamber portions in open communication with each other, an inlet opening clearly spaced from the ends of the main body portion for allowing gas to enter the cham'oers and tier-J therefrom through suitably torn'ied tips in the main body portion, the partition being formed luv-Lag inwardly and downwardly extending end. portions and a downwardly extending shoulder portion directly over the inlet opening for the purpose of dividing the flow oi gas through the inlet equally on each side thereot as it impinges against the shoulder portion, tips for the burner constructed in such a manner that each tip will break up the gas as it flows therethrough to the point where the gas is ignited, the inlet opening being provided with suitable lit-tings for supporting a gas and air mixer.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature.
